~WINDS AND RAIN OBEY JESUS~
Zirakhpur Campaign May ‘08
Once again with great pleasure I write this article as it gives me another opportunity to brag on Jesus. I feel like the Apostle John must have felt when he wrote in John 21:25, “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.”
How do you explain the joy a mother experiences when she hears her mute child sing for the first time, or the gratitude of parents who see their insane son begin to regain a sound mind. How can one explain the power of a prayer prayed in the name of Jesus that calms a storm? Words cannot express the power, compassion and mercy Lord Jesus had on the lost of Zirakhpur. Once again we just stood quietly watching Jesus save and heal the multitudes.
A week prior to the beginning of the campaign it rained constantly with fierce winds that ripped the advertising down for the campaign. The team was in prayer for the weather to change. The day the campaign began it cleared. However later during the campaign storm clouds gathered threatening severe rain. Mark rebuked the rain publicly, thanking the Lord for rain, but praying it would not rain till the final night of the campaign. The gathered Hindus and Muslims heard the prayer and right away saw its fulfillment. The day after the campaign ended it rained again for a week. Before Mark left for India his brother John had been praying for the campaign when the Lord gave him a vision of an OPEN SKY.
The word spread rapidly in the city about the “true God” who controls the weather and the local pastor reported that many were added to kingdom after the campaign because they witnessed this miracle. Only the great I Am can do something so creative and draw people to Himself. No preaching or person required!!!
During the 6 day open-air campaign approximately 1,800 came to Christ. How many more were added after we do not know. Many were healed of diverse sicknesses. Jesus appeared to people and we know that this town is changed.
One miracle that really touched me was of a lady who was her husband’s second wife. Her husband is a Muslim. Her husband’s first wife (now deceased) would appear to her (a demon) and spit on her, causing her to fall ill. She told me she spent most of her days in bed sick. During the campaign she saw a vision of Jesus standing right next to her. When we met her about 2 weeks later, she told me that since that night she had not been sick!!!
The local pastors have been very efficient in the follow-up. New converts have been added to churches and on the Sunday after the campaign churches were full of new faces. One of the local pastors and our key contact is praying for a bigger building as his church has grown so much.
Mark also ministered at a youth church in Gurgaon, Harayana, where he performed in a concert as well as ministered the word. Many people testified of being healed by the Lord. He also conducted a one-day leadership training seminar for the leaders of the New Life Churches in Delhi. Since it was on a Monday the pastor assumed that only the leadership would attend. However the hall was packed. The Lord confirmed the word taught with many miracle signs and wonders during the impartation time of the service.
We continued our yearly outreach to Himachal Pradesh. This time along with Bruce Gordon we ministered in the local Church and to the leaders in Shimla for five days. It was well received.
BACK FROM LONGEST TRIP TO INDIA!
June 2008
Sharmila and I just returned from the longest trip that we have taken overseas. We ministered in 5 cities, witnessing many mighty miracles by the Living Christ. Since we had been gone for such a long time we have a lot to catch up on.
During the Zirakpur, Punjab open-air campaign God answered our prayers for good weather. Prior to the campaign it rained hard for days and blew all our advertising away. It stopped the day of the campaign and then started raining heavily again after the campaign was over. Many Hindus turned to Christ as they heard us pray from the platform rebuking the storm in Jesus name and the “weather obeying”!
Many were healed of diverse problems. A Hindu Tantrik (witch doctor) and his wife came to Christ. He and his wife have joined the local church and are actively participating in the activities. There is a remarkable change in his and his family’s life.
The ministry in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh was intense and fruitful. Many were healed here too. Bruce Gordon and Mark trained leaders for the rapid harvest that is occurring in Shimla. We worked once again with Pastor MP Singh who has the largest work in Shimla. Every week Hindus are coming to Christ through his ministry, expanding his work rapidly.
The New Delhi leadership conference turnout was double of what they expected. The presence of the Lord was strong during the time of impartation. We could go on endlessly on all that Christ did on this trip, but do not have room. Look out for our upcoming Good News Magazine for a detailed report. The harvest is truly accelerating in India.
INDIA-PRECAMPAIGN WORK FOR FALL TRIP IN FULL SWING.
While in India, Bruce Gordon introduced us to key church planting leaders of the Tell Asia Ministries (based out of Arvada, Colorado). They are planting thousands of house churches in north India. They have been praying for some time to have an Evangelist to work with in North India. Last year they saw many thousands come to Christ through planting house churches.
Renuka, our team, and leaders with the Tell Asia Ministries are already at work setting up our campaign in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh from November 3-8th. We believe this connection will help accelerate the harvest in India even more. Meerut has a huge Muslim population.
Sheetal- Was born a deaf mute. After attending our Jesus Celebration in Zirakpur, India, her family went home. In the middle of the night her mother was awakened to Sheetal singing and clapping her hands.
Mrs. Krishna was tormented by a demon from her husband's first wife. Jesus appeared to her and set her free the first night of Zirakpur campaign.
Chandrawah- was totally blind! After prayer she began to see enough to count fingers- Zirakpur, Punjab, India
A Hindu Witch Doctor and his wife turn to Christ during the Jesus Celebration in Zikrakpur, India. Mark and team went to their home and prayed for his family. Many miraculous changes took place.
